we dont see too many black with red IROCs these days. Normally all black with silver tape. nice to see! Nice rims too!

 

I'm fond of the CTW Motorsports 17" wheels:

 

Chrome American Racing Torque Thrusts

15 X 7 Front.
15 X 8 Rear.

Lowered front and rear. Prolly wish i went with 16's.

 

Thanks!

 

I have always liked those rims skelitor. It reminds me so much of the 80 era camaros.

 

That car color (dark metallic grey) looks awesome. Nice car man!!

 

Anyone have pics of a camaro with breyton gts's??

 

Here's My 86 Trans Am. Sweet ride indeed.. Cheers

 

Call me old fashioned but I went with re-conditioned rally II's

 

OK you are old fashioned!

.got some crappy pics of the wheels installerd i went with 275/35 up front and 285/35 rear

 

Here is mine

 

@88fastgta
dude those look amazing..some black crosslaces might be in the GTA's future...

 

thanks man...nuffnuffz28 is local and redid them for me... i think they look way better than gold..... with the theme im going with the gold seemed out of place...

 

235 front 315 rear

 

ok what did you do to get a 315 on the rear of that? that looks wild

 

Think its a 1" spacer if I remember right. Things barely fit. Coil over conversion all around and lowered and absolultely no rubing issues though. Ill try to get a good photo of the rear posted on here. Looks pretty sick i think. Still all tucked under the fender.

 

Niiice, my 92z has 245 & 315, but i have GS o/s so im running 2.25 front & 2.00 rear adapters. The rears kind of sit flush with the fender lip, she still stock height on original springs.

 

Yeah the front tuck a hair more than the rear no spacer. The stance is near perfect for me. Doing a 9 inch in a couple weeks and hopefully can make all the adjustments to keep the rear sittin right without too big a headache

 

like i said black gta rims (my car )

 

88fastgta Nice car Bro... Like the rims. Lol...

 

Shameless plug lol

 

My 86 with 19x8, 10s. 255/35 front, 295/30 rear

 

what wheels are they? and do you have a rear shot? really nice looking, I have 18x9 all round with 275/35 front and 285/35 rear but my rear tires look narrow!

 

Man that looks like GREAT old school! I bet it launched a lot better with those taller side wall! I am looking for new rims to get more meat on the ground for my 87 stroker. Perhaps I should look to 15's instead of 17" corvettes!
Later, and NICE JOB THERE!

copchaser, those wheels look killer. never thought 19's could look good, but yours sure do. but im curious as to what rear brake set up you have since you have such large wheels, its shocking that the inside of the rim is almost filled up with rotor lol. mine are 18's with c5 rear brakes, and they arent nearly as big as yours. are they 5thgen brakes?

 

Looks gorgeous Copchaser! I agree with IROCZcamaro above. I usually don't like anything larger than 18" wheels on 3rd gens, but those look great. I'm lovin' the big brakes too.

 

Still debating this? We all know I have the best wheels

 

what rims are those?they look like centerlines legend series .i have a 91 rs ,and i tried to put american racing outlaw 1s on but didnt seem to work .what size rim and tires do you run?i like that look!

 

nice rims !i have a black 91rs and im looking for better tires and rims .if you dont mind ,could i ask what they are and the size your running in front and back?also the size tires front and back?i tried to do outlaw 1s from american racing ,but the offset didnt work or something#$!and do you run air shocks in back or a lift in order to have the size tire and rim you have?i would really appreciate it.i dont care for alot of the other spoke looking rims!thanks

 

Thanks for the compliments! I am running 5th gen brakes front and rear! 14 inch rotors up front, 14.4 in the rear.



I did a half *** search for some of your stuff, and came up with nothing..lol Im curious now to what you are working with.

 

Man, I'm trying to control my wit which gets me in trouble. Best political correctness here I can muster......... Not likely, bub. Sorry. Cuss me if you so desire. Beauty is in the eye of the ignition key holder.

 

Okay, It's not fair that I bashed TT's wheels without him being able to retaliate, so, for TT's appreciation and comment I give you my 16x9 zero offset chrome IROC knock offs. I don't think they are the best ones out there, but they're pretty shiney.



And yes, it's a horrible picture. I have a cheap camera phone.
Gramps.

 

Some of you need to lighten up... it was a joke.



or





Copchaser, you must suck at searching because I have 2 large build threads here full of pictures.

Hey TT - I don't know what you're smokin' but I think it may be illegal!!!
Gramps

 

Everything is legal here.

Wha's your problem?

 

Gotta love the Netherlands!!!!!!!

 

Heck TT, I just realized where you're at! I'm glad to see there's someone over there sticking up for the US muscle car. Good work!
No problem, just a little chops busting.
Later

I really put in zero effort to look.. haha. I was lookin to get a rise outta u a bit. Mission Accomplished!! I actually like the big face 5 stars ur working with on the gray one.

 

Told you I had the best wheels

 

Never said they were better......... Jus said I liked them.

 

Copchaser !!!
twin_turbo !!!

Love both of your cars wish my clunker look half as good as your guys camaros

 

zach your car will be sick!!! shut up lol

 

I have a 91 camaro rs all stock with new springs, shocks and struts. I want to put boss 338 wheels and want to know if these will tuck or stick out in the rear? ( 18x8 4.75 in b.s. frount and 18x9.5 with 5in b.s. rear) the tires mounted on them are 245/40 frount and 275/40 rear. Thanks in advance

P.S I need to know by sat.

 

Hey, the back space on the fronts is 4.517. As to whether the rms will stick out, you can figure out pretty easily.

FIGURING IT OUT SOUNDS HARD, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T.

1: pull a rear tire. Measure the total width of the fender well, inside rub point to the fender lip. (should be about 13 inches). (rub point is where the tire would touch the fender well)

2: put a straight edge (about 2' of 1x2 works great) on the axle/wheel mounting surface and measure the distance from the mounting surface to the inside rub point on the fender well.

NOW, THAT 275 TIRE IS ABOUT 10.6" WIDE. So, you will need a total backspace of over 5.331" to keep the tire from rubbing

3: Subtract The wheel/tire back space (in your case 5.331") from the item 2 number . THAT number will be the inches from the inside rub point to the inside of the tire.***

5: NOW, add the number you got in item 3 with the width of the tire (10.6"). If it's greater then the width of the fender well(item 1), the tires will stick out by the difference.


*** If this answer= a - (negative) number, you will need spacers.

Now do the same with the fronts, but use the different tire/wheel sizes to calculate



Boss 338 5x4.75 18x8 +2mm (4.517") 18x9.5 -4mm (5.031") Camaro, Chevelle, Monte Carlo, S10, Impala and others...

 

I would go with 5.5 backspacing for the rear. I have 17x9.5 w/ 5.5 backspacing on the rear of my 91 Z28 and they fit perfect. With only 5.0 backspacing I think they would stick out too far and you could have issues clearing the fender lip when you hit a big bump. I think you will be ok on the fronts, mine are 17x8 w/ 4.5 backspacing..

 

What sze tires are you running on the rears?
